Instructions
for Creating Your Sandbox Page Please read all instructions before beginning your page. You may want to print this page to use as a reference.
The idea here is for you to make a page with some choice of content, while ensuring you experiment with basic wiki formatting options. After you read the instructions, look at the Sample Sandbox Page to see what the finished product should more-or-less look like. There are LOTS of help references at the bottom of this page. Three important things-- Have fun and make small edits -- that means save the page every few minutes, then click Edit this Page to begin editing again! You do not have to complete your page all in one sitting, because you can edit it at any time, from any computer with Internet access.
To create your new page, click New Page (on the upper left of the sandbox wiki main page) and name your page (NO SPACES or punctuation other than an _ in page names, please).
At the bottom of your new page you will see a "tag" field, be sure to type in navigation so your page will be linked from our main navigation bar. Your page should contain the following: PLEASE NOTE: You are free to be creative with your section titles and page contents, include more than the minimum or adaptations of anything. Include pictures, tables, embeds, horizontal rules -- anything you want to try! 1.A Table of Contents (type [toc] at the top of the page, except use TWO brackets on each side -- this is special code that will automatically turn into a table of contents when you add Headings. Watch the video if you are confused). 2.A catchy page title (formatted usingHeading 1). NOTE: The page title is not the same as the page name. 3.Four titled sections using Heading 2 or 3 (so that your table of contents will have something in it).
- Section 1: Introduction - Include your Name, School Name and Position, a link to your school Website (embedded), and a brief description of something you love about your job. - Section 2: Favorite Things - Make a bulleted or numbered list of something you like, such as favorite movies, books, quotations, superheroes, places to travel, restaurants, gadgets, obscure Latin phrases, etc... Anything you like, at least three items. - Section 3: Burning Question - Ask a question of the universe, anything you want... you will receive responses on the Discussion tab at the top of the page! Make this question bold or italicized! - Section 4: Web 2.0 Stuff- You will put content in this section from other modules in this course. As you go through the other modules and create products, practice embedding them into your sandbox wiki page. 4.At least one image. Upload an image from your computer or link to an image online (be conscious of copyright).
